A lot has been said on the editorial pages about candidates who are “good and honorable.” However, what is good and honorable about candidates who fan the flames of envy? These candidates believe in redistribution of wealth, attacking achievement, and demonizing success and patriotism. They believe that government is the solution to every problem, but too many of those solutions require coercion to be accomplished.

Conservatives believe in limited, effective government. They want to eliminate fraud, waste, cronyism, cozy deals and favors. Conservatives are just as generous as liberals, but they’re generous with their own money. Conservatives believe that only people who are eligible to vote should vote. Conservatives believe that service men and women should be honored, not mocked.

If you are offended by this, I’m truly sorry, but no society has EVER flourished under liberalism. Only its leaders have.

Vote for Jeff Johnson for Governor, Mike McFadden for Senator, Dan Severson for Secretary of State, Randy Gilbert for State Auditor, Scott Newman for Attorney General, Michelle MacDonald for MN Supreme Court, Torrey Westrom for Congress, and Mary Franson, Paul Anderson, & Jeff Backer for their respective House Districts. They are conservatives who believe in fair and honest elections, who believe in help for those truly in need, who believe hard work and achievement should be rewarded and commended, not demonized, who believe that the greatest “general welfare” is achieved when society is encouraged to invent, create and develop, not regulated out of existence.
